“Haha, she takes after her cute mother of course!” Severin laughed. Diane secretly pinched hist thigh in response.
After they all finished their meal, they went with Severin’s to visit his villa. Everyone had a look of amazement as they arrived at the villa gate.
“This is peak luxury!”
“Yeah, this is huge! I now understand why this magnificent property is worth more than ten million!”
The villa before them left them all dumbstruck.
“Are those six beauties Severin’s bodyguards? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Are hot bodyguards all the rage now?” Gaston could not help but gulp when he saw those beautiful, young, and vivacious bodyguards. Some of them were even wearing sexy denim shorts that revealed their luscious long legs and left him feeling a little hot.
He wondered to himself whether Severin was hiring bodyguards or lovers. After all, it made no sense for bodyguards to be that good-looking!
After everyone had taken a tour of the house, Severin asked Evan to provide his bank account number so the money could be transferred later on. A motley of expressions appeared on the faces of the other relatives, and Vincent in particular, had the most unsavory expression among them all. Who could blame him when he saw Severin give two hundred thousand to Evan after his request to borrow money had been rejected?
About two to three hours later, everyone had to leave and excused themselves one after another. However, Severin did not expect that Gaston would still linger around.
He went up to Severin and said with a smile, “You did the right thing today, Severin.” Severin was stunned for a moment. ‘Is he really trying to flatter me? Did he make a point to stay back just so he could praise me! Probably not.”
“Really? Do you think so too, Uncle Gaston?” Severin smiled and did not expose Gaston’s hypocritical actions.
Gaston chuckled and said, “Of course! I can tell that you’re someone who knows how to repay a person’s kindness. In fact, I’m the same too. I’ll always remember the good deeds someone has done for me.”
Severin sneered and thought to himself, “This guy can lie without even batting an eye!’
Gaston saw Severin’s silence and said again, “That Vincent severed ties with your family after so many years, and he somehow still has the nerve to ask if he could borrow money from you. Can you believe it? I’m surprised he could even bring himself to ask for three hundred thousand from you. Doesn’t he know how much his family earns? They definitely won’t be able to return the money you lent to them, and you were right not to lend it to them!”
As he said that, he smiled and continued, “But you know, Severin, I’ve recently been targeting a very promising project that will definitely make money. It’s just… There’s been some

difficulty in turning over the company’s funds. I don’t want to borrow too much. How does four-hundred- and-fifty-thousand sound? We’re Feuillets, aren’t we? And Feuillets will definitely pay their debts! Besides, you can afford bodyguards too, so I wouldn’t dare to not return the money.”
Severin knew that it was Gaston’s goal all along after all that flattery earlier. He could not help but smile slightly and stretch his waist as he said, “You’re right, Uncle Gaston. I do know how to repay my debts, and I’d very much wish to repay your kindness too. But I’ve been thinking, and I just can’t figure out what kind deed you’ve shown to my family before. As much as I’d like to help, I’m afraid I can’t!”
“I…” Gaston froze on the spot and his face twitched violently a couple of times.
Severin did not bother to pay attention to him and went directly into the house. “Oh, by the way, I’ve heard that the Emerald Cloud Gang are money lenders too, but they charge a really high interest. If you really are short of money, you can always give them a try! That’s all I can help you with!”
